Duddo Five Stones: Art by Bladup, lots more in our Art section #StandingStoneSunday. This circle in Northumberland lies atop a hill surrounded by farmland. One of the stones was re-erected in the 1920s and Burl believes that it is probable that they have all been re-erected at some point. Burl wrote that the direction the stones face in the circle is wrong and that some of them rock under little pressure.

The Megalithic Portal's Top 15 Stone Rows in England: Something we did in our book The Old Stones, #StandingStoneSunday was to attempt objective ratings of the best of various types of megalithic monuments to visit in Scotland, England, Wales and Ireland.
